The Railway Children

The Railway Children exists to help vulnerable children in grave circumstances all over the world. Their objective is to provide relief to children and young people who are in conditions of need, hardship or distress and in particular to those living on the streets.

Did you know 100,000 street children arrive onto the mainline train platforms all over India every year?

Since the inception of The Railway Children in 1995, many thousands of children and young people living alone on the streets, at risk from abusers and ill health have been helped. The charities belief is that early intervention is a crucial aspect of preventing children living on the streets coming to harm, and reaching street children before an abuser can is a vital element of the work undertaken on a daily basis.

The Railway Children charity believes that a 3 step change agenda is needed to sustain change for children forced to live on the street and this approach forms the backbone of the work that they undertake. The most pressing needs of children living on the streets are addressed first in order to give the best possible chance of change. Railway Children aspires to create a brigher future for street children by lobbying government and putting in place sustained change programs which really make a difference.
